Hello all,
I am going to take a stab at leaving a few tidbits for you here including what we did in class, in case you missed it - and that would be a shame, wouldn't it? Also, I'll try to capture any highlights, helpful links, vocabulary lists, etc. Of course, this will be a great place to list the homework as well, in case you missed it, which would be of equal tragic proportions to missing the actual class. There is a lot of potential for you to feel quite upset in this class should you be inexplicably absent or miss the all-important homework!
Homework: Just to review, by now you should have a political cartoon. You should be writing in your journal this weekend about yourself, and you should be reading Joan Didion's essay. Here is some info about Joan Didion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Didion.
Last class: We discussed John F. Kennedy's inaugural address and reviewed many of the terms that arose from analysis of said speech. Those terms included: diction, syntax, tropes, schemes, declarative sentences, imperative sentences, hortative sentences (remember exhortation), complex sentences, anaphora, and zeugma to name a few.
